Hélène Cardona Instagram – I’ve been Swifted again! Thank you @taylorswift_as_books for Swifting me with this gorgeous Taylor of The Abduction, my translation of Le Rapt by Maram Al-Masri💖 Winner of an Albertine and FACE Foundation Grant from @villa.albertine ⚘️
Reshare: Taylor Swift as Maram Al-Masri’s The Abduction (2023), White Pine Press. Translated from the original French by @helenecardonamagic 💖
The Abduction refers to an autobiographical event in Al-Masri’s life. When, as a young Arab woman living in France, she decides to separate from her husband with whom she has a child, the father kidnaps the baby and returns to Syria. The Abduction is the story of a woman who is denied the basic right to raise her child. Al-Masri won’t see her son for thirteen years. These are haunting poems of love, despair, and hope in a delicate, profound and powerful book on intimacy, a mother’s rights, war, exile, and freedom.
